T.O.: Bruning’s Hatchet Man

And isn’t it a little sad? Here’s the guy who stood by Lawrence Phillips. Here’s the guy who stuck to his guns on the immigration question against Dave Heineman. Heck, here’s the guy who went for two against Miami!

Of course, it’s curious how this all came about. Osborne confirmed, “when asked” that he was considered for the Ag Secretary position before Johanns. Hmm, we wonder who prompted that reporter’s question. Wait, here we see later in the article that T.O. won’t “publicly” endorse a primary candidate, but will “personally” stand by Bruning. Love that distinction.

We see that T.O. wants to stress the importance of his “loyalty” to Bruning who stood by him during the Governor’s race (hey, did Jon support Osborne’s immigration position?). We guess that’s what payback’s all about. In any case, we hope we’ve seen the last of T.O. going negative.

“Ben Nelson is Conservative” – really? Or did he just play one until the Dems took control of the U.S. Congress? I know where my bet is. step right up ladies and gentlemen and watch the sitting Senator from the state of Nebraska turn Liberal! Right before your very eyes…

Robbie the Intern will not officially endorse Jon Bruning, however, he will, along with TO, stand by him even though he will have to do his standing while flat on his back after being run over by the bus that Jon threw him under.

I like the idea of listing supporters, and we’ll try to do that soon. In the mean time, we broke down the Bruning and HAGEL teams not long ago. It still works for Bruning, and many of the Hagel peeps are now Johanns, but we’ll update:

To anony:Well, that just proves how influential Mike Yohanns was to the President’s cabinet. Yohans was sooooo important and sooooo brilliant that his mere presence intimidates President Bush to the point that he simply can’t properly pronounce his name.

TO’s is nobody’s Hatchet Man. He is a man of duty, who steps up to the plate when no one has the cajones to do it. I like the Secretary, but it is a fact that he has the tendency to quit a job to move on to “bigger and better” things. One can understand why a man of duty like TO might feel uneasy about this. Anyone arguying that TO doesn’t have guts, just watch the Miami game. If he wants to say – I am for Bruning, he’ll say that.

By the way, when it comes to Jon Bruning – he is a pimp. Sometimes pimps do a decent job when it comes to recruitment of personnel and providing good customer service. But i was utterly disappointed by the AG for hanging Robbie the intern out to dry. Bruning, don’t you mentor and supervise your interns. I mean, if an opinion carries your name, i don’t care if your former high school sweetheart wrote it – the buck stops with you. Apologize to Robbie the Intern and maybe I’ll think about voting for you…
